Even before the Beatles hit the big time, a myth was created. This version of the Beatles legend smoothed the rough edges and filled in the fault lines, and for more than forty years this manicured version of the Beatles story has sustained as truth -- until now.The product of almost a decade of research, hundreds of unprecedented interviews, and the discovery of scores of never-before-revealed documents, Bob Spitz'sThe Beatlesis the biography fans have been waiting for.Never before has a biography of musicians been so immersive and textured. We are there in the McCartney living room when Paul and John learn to write songs together; backstage the night Ringo takes over on drums; in seedy German strip clubs where George lies about his age so the band can perform; and at theEd Sullivan Showas America discovers the joy and the madness. From Shea to San Francisco, through the London night, on to India, through marmalade skies, across the universe-all the way to a rooftop concert and one last moment of laughter and music.It is all here, the highs and the lows, the love and the rivalry, the drugs, the tears, the thrill, the magic never again to be repeated. Bob Spitz's masterpiece is, at long last, the biography the Beatles deserve. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

As a casual admirer of the Beatles, I learned a lot from this book, but I doubt that serious Beatles enthusiasts would find much new information here. Particularly fascinating to me were the insights into the music itself. Less interesting to me were the chapters on the Beatles' early years.
The gossipy bits about who the Beatles dated and when were only interesting to me when these relationships affected the music (as the introduction of Yoko Ono did). However, a biography of the band would be incomplete without this information, so I'm not sorry it was there---I was just mostly interested in the music.
